Dave was an honorary member of our family even though our relationship began with him installing and servicing machines at our family business, Wonder Machine. He and my dad - two no-nonsense old-school types with eastern European roots - were definitely cut from the same cloth. You knew that if you called Dave with a problem, he'd either fix it, tell you how or who to call to fix it, or it simply couldn't be fixed. He came to many of our family functions over the years and was always willing to help in whatever way he could. We will all miss his smile, his dry wit, and his rules to live by. We're so sorry for your loss.

I first met Dave in 2002 when I started working for Royalton Mfg. He, and the rest of the Jackson guys Already had a name for themselves. They were the best, guys I looked up to. Countless phone calls where I was climbing around a Hitatchi while Dave was telling me what to do, literally sitting on a bucket with a multi tester as he told me what to do over the phone. I asked him one time why he always called me back. He told me "I was one of the good ones" . I will never forget that. He was definitely a great man and one of a kind.

Dave was an inspiration and mentor to everyone that spent time with him.
It was an honor to work with Dave for almost 40 years. Dave was a true friend and will be greatly missed.
Love you and your family brother.
